Went out on CL this moring from shore for bass. Nothing not even a follow. But i did see a bunch of carp jumping out of the water. I see them do this in the spring assuming a spawning thing. Does anyone know why they do it in the fall?

Firsttime fishing on CL. Went out at around 8:30 am, conditions were cloudy with 8mph wind. Drifted north of west beach and headed east through point, approx 15' of water. Conditions turned to light/medium rain caught 24" Muskie using Mepps. Also boated 2 pike in range from 18-22".
